Jaspr has its own linting and analyzer package called `jaspr_lints`. This comes pre-configured
with every new project and enables the following set of lint rules and code assists:

## Lint Rules

<Card>
    <Property name="prefer_html_methods" type="Fix available">
        Prefer using html methods like `div(...)` over `DomComponent(tag: 'div', ...)`.

        **BAD:**
        ```dart
        return DomComponent(
          tag: 'div',
          children: [
            DomComponent(
              tag: 'p',
              child: Text('Hello World'),
            ),
          ],
        );
        ```

        **GOOD:**
        ```dart
        return div([
          p([text('Hello World')]),
        ]);
        ```
    </Property>
</Card>

<Card>
    <Property name="sort_children_properties_last" type="Fix available">
        Sort children properties last in html component methods.

        This improves readability and best represents actual html.

        **BAD:**
        ```dart
        return div([
          p([text('Hello World')], classes: 'text-red'),
        ], id: 'main');
        ```

        **GOOD:**
        ```dart
        return div(id: 'main', [
          p(classes: 'text-red', [text('Hello World')]),
        ]);
        ```
    </Property>
</Card>

<Card>
    <Property name="styles_ordering" type="Fix available">
        Sort styles properties.

        This improves readability and consistency across style rules.

        **BAD:**
        ```dart
        @css
        static List<StyleRule> get styles => [
          css('button').styles(
            color: Colors.black, // [!code --]
            padding: Padding.all(8.px), // [!code --]
          ),
          css('input').styles(
            padding: Padding.all(16.px),
            color: Colors.black,
          ),
        ];
        ```

        **GOOD:**
        ```dart
        @css
        static List<StyleRule> get styles => [
          css('button').styles(
            padding: Padding.all(8.px), // [!code ++]
            color: Colors.black, // [!code ++]
          ),
          css('input').styles(
            padding: Padding.all(16.px),
            color: Colors.black,
          ),
        ];
        ```
    </Property>
</Card>

<Card>
    <Property name="prefer_styles_getter" type="Fix available">
        Prefer using a getter over a (final) variable declaration for style rules to support hot-reload.

        **BAD:**
        ```dart
        @css
        static final List<StyleRule> styles = [ // [!code --]
          css('button').styles(
            padding: Padding.all(8.px),
            color: Colors.black,
          ),
        ];
        ```

        **GOOD:**
        ```dart
        @css
        static List<StyleRule> get styles => [ // [!code ++]
          css('button').styles(
            padding: Padding.all(8.px),
            color: Colors.black,
          ),
        ];
        ```
    </Property>
</Card>
